NEWPORT BELLIES.
The fashionable girls OF Newport have more the
appearance OF English girls than those that are
seen In any town In America. They wear the same
pretty, simple blue or bun or lilac cotton gowns,
and the same coarse straw bOnnets, trimmed With
w WEI muslin and small red poppies or red tulle
they wear the same habit fronts and clOth-cOv-
ered sailor hats, and there is the same decided
distinction between the style and material Of the
dresses OF the daughters, and the richer more
elaborate designs or their mamas. There is the
same absence OF Jewelry and anything superfiu-
which would make you believe they were born
within sound OF Bow Bells.

girl Is usually more graceful and far less shy than
the English girl; quite competent to manage her

edge OF her superficial world

and picture, and deserves wider appreciation.
The beach has been nothing but drive at New

the Town has lately erected a pavilion and three
hundred bathing houses upon the best part OF the
beach, which draws crowds OF eXcursiOniSts A
